I'm a male god in Liyue

"That troublesome little thing... Let's follow the usual routine and lock her in the solitary confinement room to keep her quiet for a day. Sigh, the Flower Festival is just around the corner, I'm really afraid she'll cause trouble again... Hmm? And who are you all?"

Amber entered the house, and only then did the woman notice that there were other people standing at the door.

She stood up and asked politely.

Xia Zhi saw her full appearance from God's perspective.

She had long, naturally curly blonde hair, styled into a single ponytail with a bow at the back, and two strands of blonde hair hanging down from either side of her face.

She wore a predominantly white outfit with gold embellishments, a black and blue shawl with a Gothic stand-up collar, and a gold-decorated belt draped diagonally at her waist. She wore white arm warmers and long black leather gloves. Her lower body consisted of white, tight-fitting trousers and white boots, both adorned with gold patterns. Black leather swallowtail capes extended from her back and waist to her calves. A wind-elemental Eye of God was tied to the left side of the cape.

Under Xia Zhi's gaze, a golden progress bar was displayed on her body: Progress: [0%]

Amber helped introduce them: "This is Mr. Xia Zhi from Liyue, this is Miss Gan Yu from Liyue, and this is Mr. Xia's cousin, Miss Xia Ci."

"Greetings, everyone... Miss Gan Yu..."

Qin felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

Information about important figures in Liyue flashed through her mind.

Qin looked at Gan Yu, her eyes suddenly widening in surprise.

"Are you..."

Gan Yu met her gaze and took a step forward.

Her demeanor had changed from her original gentle and weak appearance. Her tone was unhurried, calm, and steady, seemingly very polite yet carrying a faint sense of distance.

This is an attitude towards others that can only be developed by someone who has been in a position of power for a long time.

"I am Gan Yu, the chief secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Qin's expression also became solemn. She placed one hand on her chest and bowed to Gan Yu.

"Knights of Favonius, Acting Grand Master, Jean, welcome... Please have a seat! Amber, could you please brew some tea for our guests?"

"Ok!"

Amber responded and left.

Gan Yu looked at Qin and said, "Commander Qin, there's no need to be so polite."

"It should."

After the guests sat down and drank the black tea,

Qin Cai then asked, "I wonder what brings Secretary Gan Yu here so suddenly?"

Gan Yu put down her teacup and said softly, "To be honest, Commander Qin might not believe it, but I actually just came to Mondstadt for tourism."

"travel?"

"I've been busy with work all these years, and I finally had some free time this year, so I thought I'd go out and travel. It just so happens that the Mondstadt Windflower Festival is coming up, and it's relatively close to Liyue, so I decided to come here for a visit."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Qin was relieved to hear this; it turned out to be a private trip.

She was just an acting leader. Although she was already one of the top swordsmen in Mondstadt in terms of strength, she was still not as good at handling various political affairs as she was at dealing with enemies.

The Tvalin dragon disaster from last year is still not fully resolved, and many damaged buildings are still waiting for her to allocate funds and send people to repair them.

The previous incident involving the Fatui's Blackfire has strained the relationship between Mondstadt and Winterbreak.

In addition, the upcoming Flower Festival, which seems lively, also involves a lot of miscellaneous tasks. She relies on drinking coffee to maintain her energy every day, but she still feels overwhelmed by all the things to do.

If Li Yue were to present her with some more difficult problems at this time, she would be in real trouble.

Gan Yu then said, "However..."

"but?"

Upon hearing Gan Yu's change of tone, Qin's relaxed expression immediately tensed up again.

"But what?"

Gan Yu smiled and said, "Captain Qin, there's no need to be nervous. It's nothing serious. Let me introduce you first. Mr. Xia Zhi is the principal of our newly established school in Liyue, and Miss Xia Ci is one of the school's three vice principals."

Qin's gaze fell on Xia Zhi and Xia Ci: "The newly established school in Liyue... I've heard about it. It seems to be open to all children of the appropriate age in Liyue. As long as they are willing to receive education, they can enroll for free?"

Xia Zhi nodded and replied gently, "Commander Qin's knowledge is correct."

Qin looked at him and asked, "The school is newly established and in a period of development. The two principals are not leaving the school for leisure, are they?"

You're right, we're just out having fun.

Xia Ci said with a serious expression, "Commander Qin is right. We came to Mondstadt this time for the future development of the school and wanted to borrow some books from the Mondstadt Library to take back."

Qin was a little surprised: "Borrowing books..."

Xia Ci said, "Although the school has successfully started classes, the library still has too few books to satisfy the students' growing thirst for knowledge."

Qin was somewhat skeptical and asked, "I heard that Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, is also one of the school's vice principals. With her wealth, surely she can collect the books she wants?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "In fact, Vice Principal Ningguang has already collected most of Liyue's books into the school."

Qin asked, puzzled, "Isn't this enough?"

Xia Ci shook her head: "It's far from enough. Our school's goal is to be number one in Teyvat."

Qin was speechless: "..."

Xia Zhi said, "We've heard that the Mondstadt Library has a large collection of books, so we decided to visit and discuss borrowing some. Of course, we're not borrowing for free, but rather exchanging them; we'll provide copies of our collection. In this way, the Mondstadt Library can also enrich its collection, making it a win-win situation for both of us."

Qin nodded and said, "I understand your intentions... If we can cooperate smoothly on this matter, it will indeed benefit both of us."

Xia Zhi asked, "Then what is Commander Qin's decision?"

Jean thought for a moment and said, "Although the Mondstadt Library belongs to the Knights of Favonius, I cannot make a decision for it directly. I need to discuss it with the current librarian and give you a reply as soon as possible, is that alright?"

Xia Zhi stood up and said with a smile, "Of course, then I'll have to trouble Commander Qin to take this matter to heart. We'll be staying in the city for the next few days to experience the charm of the Mondstadt Flower Festival."

Jean also stood up and came out to see them off: "Then I wish you all a happy time during the Windflower Festival. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the Knights of Favonius for help. By the way, did you just arrive in Mondstadt today?"

"Yes."

"Do any of you have any companions?"

"There are more than a dozen people in total."

"With so many people, most of the hotels in the city are already full at this time, and it may be difficult to find suitable accommodation. Why don't I arrange places for you?"

Xia Zhi hadn't expected that the ensemble leader would be so meticulous, even considering such a small matter.

"What does the ensemble leader mean?"

"The hotel is full, but Principal Xia could stay at the West Wind Church for a few days. The environment there is quite elegant and the security is good."

"The Church of the West Wind...won't that be inconvenient? After all, we worship the Rock God, not the Wind God..."

“You are distinguished guests who have come with the goodwill of Liyue. The matter you facilitate will also benefit Mondstadt. Such friends will be welcomed by the Anemo.”

"Then we'll take our leave."

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded.

Accommodation doesn't really matter. Even if all the inns in Mondstadt are full, with the Dust Jar, everyone can stay comfortably.

However, since we're on a trip, we can't stay in Chengehu forever; we should experience the local environment firsthand.

It's nice to stay in a new environment for a few days.

Chapter 443 Offering Flowers to the Wind God (5K)

Mondstadt's geographical location is quite unique.

It resembles a giant island, shaped like a large stick, situated in the middle of Cider Lake. Its only connection to the outside world is the stone bridge at the south gate of the city, the very place where Xia Zhi and his companions entered Mondstadt. This is the main passage in and out of Mondstadt.

In addition, docks and harbors were built outside the east and west city gates for merchant and passenger ships to moor. These were secondary routes in and out of Mondstadt.

The Church of the West Winds is located in the northern part of the vast island of Mondstadt, occupying a whole section of the end of the Great Stick.

This is also the highest point in Mondstadt, which is enough to show the high status of the Church of Favonius in Mondstadt.

Perhaps to show her sincerity, Qin put aside the matters she was handling and personally led Xia Zhi and the others to the West Wind Church.

Xia Zhi couldn't refuse, so he could only say thank you.

He came out of the house and called over everyone who was strolling around nearby, and they set off together.

Keli ran over happily, but she didn't expect to see the leader of the Qin Troupe there. The little girl was startled and hid behind Grandma Ping.

Qin glanced at the Dudu doll that had emerged from behind Grandma Ping, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

With so many guests in front of her, she couldn't very well reprimand Keli, so she could only pretend she hadn't seen anything.

Amber walked over with a smile and secretly took Klee away.

As a scout knight, she needs to be extra vigilant during this festive season to investigate and resolve various problems, leaving her little time to stroll around with Xiangling and the others.

The Church of the West Winds is not far from the Knights of the West Winds; after walking a short distance along the road, you will see a fork in the road.

There are wide platform steps on both the left and right sides, made of white stone.
